Seriously.. I find no other description that fits here with this ridiculous situation the media has created.
I now believe spear headed by ESPN that they want 5 nice and neat conferences. Consolidation of D1 football and they are trying their hardest to make Notre Dame seem like they have such an easy schedule and some magical advantage over other teams.
I say as fans the best thing we can all do is stop talking about it. Don't give it the time of day. It is nothing short of ignorance and self motivating on their part,
Is our schedule the toughest? No. Is our schedule the easiest? No. But this can be said of anyone in a year in and year out basis.
Teams can't possibly have the foresight of their competition 5 - 10 years down the road which is when a lot of these games are scheduled.
The funny part with all this is until they expand the Playoff the controversy will never stop. Let's say the Big 12 adds a championship game. Now there are 5 conference champ games and only 4 spots.
ESPN and their ignorance needs to be pushing for playoff expansion rather than pointing fingers at schedules.
Having said that what Notre Dame does that no other school does is they try and make a strong schedule made up of only D1 schools and by and large those are even very formidable schools. No D1AA schools or D2 schools as the week off game just to say hey we now play 13 games. They take pride in playing the same level of competition they always have. They have not succumbed to chatter of the extra game hoopla. I say great for the Dome and here, here ...stick to your guns because you should be the envy and class of college football wanting to play the best every week.
